Answer:
An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.
Explanation:
Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.
Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
It depends on your teacher, it should be A. It could be B if that’s what your teacher wants but I would go with A.
Answer:
carbon and three oxygen atoms
I believe it would be Mitochondria
D) Pituitary
The reason for the answer being choice D is because the pituitary gland is a small pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands.
